Caribbean Poker Protocols and Tricks

Poker has become world famous lately, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its popularity, though, stretches back in fact a bit further than its TV ratings. Over the years numerous variations on the first poker game have been created, including a handful of games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Regardless of the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely affiliated with 21 than traditional poker, in that the players bet against the bank instead of each other. The winning hands, are the established poker hands. There is little concealment or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up before the croupier announcing "No more wagers." At that moment, both you and the dealer and of course every one of the other players receive 5 cards. After you have seen your hand and the casino’s initial card, you have to in turn make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s value is on same level to your beginning wager, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Abandoning means that your bet goes directly to the bank. After the wager is the showdown. If the dealer does not have ace/king or greater, your bet is returned, plus a sum on par with the initial wager. If the casino does have ace/king or greater, you succeed if your hand beats the dealer’s hand. The bank pony’s up money even with your wager and fixed expectations on your call bet. These expectations are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for two pairs
  • three to one for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • seven to one for a full house
  • twenty to one for a 4 of a kind
  • fifty to one for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
